Hope you have a nice refresh. Thanks for your review.

Currently, the unknown no-running-vcpu sites are reported when a

"kvm-arm-vgic-its". Unfortunately, there are more unknown sites to
be handled and no-running-vcpu context will be allowed in these
sites: (1) KVM_DEV_ARM_{VGIC_GRP_CTRL, ITS_RESTORE_TABLES} command
on KVM device "kvm-arm-vgic-its" to restore vgic/its tables. The
vgic3 LPI pending status could be restored. (2) Save vgic3 pending

We typically write it as "VGICv3".


Ok. I will fix by replacing 'vgic3' with 'VGICv3' in v4. However, the
term 'vgic/its' will be kept.

table through KVM_DEV_ARM_{VGIC_GRP_CTRL, VGIC_SAVE_PENDING_TABLES}
command on KVM device "kvm-arm-vgic-v3".

In order to handle those unknown cases, we need a unified helper
vgic_write_guest_lock(). struct vgic_dist::save_its_tables_in_progress
is also renamed to struct vgic_dist::save_tables_in_progress.

How about renaming it to 'write_tables_in_progress' which would look a
bit more generic? The rest looks good to me.


'write_tables_in_progress' works for me. I will have it in v4, which
will be posted shortly.

Thanks,
Gavin
